It was very early in the morning and Van and Merle were playing Tag, a happy little game that they always enjoyed this time of the year.'s not fair Lord Van," said Merle, she got up and turned to her dear friend, "You made me trip so as you could catch me, your still it," Merle then ran away from Van. Van rolled his eyes, knowing he was in for a chase.you just don't want to be it because I'm so fast," Van called, he ran after Merle. running for about ten minutes, turning numerous corners, running up and down hills and dodging people who were simply walking past, Van turned a corner in to a busy street where there was a small market.said Van and he stoped running. "She could be anywhere," Van then walked like a civilized person through the street looking everywhere Merle could possibly be. Allen was in the street and he was looking at apples. He occasionally picked one up and looked at his reflection in it,good," he would say and give a smug lookAllen," said Van, "First what are you doing?" At this point Allen started to blush and muttered something. "And secondly have you seen Merle around here?"I was checking the ripeness of these juicy fruits and Merle?" said Allen and he thought for a moment, "Yes, she ran past me," Allen then returned to his fruit 'testing,'well," said Van impatiently, "Which way?"said Allen, tearing him self away from his apple, "She went to the chapel, would you like me to come with?"okay," said Van, "I might need some help in catching her," Van smiled and Allen looked back longingly at his apple. He reached in to his pocket and got out a small shiny coin, he tossed it at the man behind the apple stall,man," said Allen and he ran with Van in the direction of the chapel. At the end of the street Van heard a 'meow' and followed the direction with Allen and his apple. On the steps of the chapel Merle was sitting licking her paws. Her ears waggled a few times then she looked up,oh," she said before running,shouted Van and he ran after Merle. Allen sighed and walked quickly, too dignified to actually run. Merle stumbled and fell to the floor where she started to cry.I hurt," she wailed, "Oh Van help me up,"Merle I should get you some help," said Van. He and Allen and the apple turned and faced the opposite direction to find someone to help. Merle smiled and stood up slowly. Van and Allen were peering through the thick crowd of people. Merle thenlooked to Allen's hand, it was holding his apple, but not very hard. She very gently teased it from his fingers and he didn't even notice. Then she turned and ran as fast as possible.I can't s" said Van as he turned back but Merle had gone. Van then turned to Allen who was looking worried. He flicked his blonde hair out of his eyes and looked to his empty hand.apple!" Allen moaned, "My shiny shiny, apple."
